WHAT HAVE THE PUBBIES DONE TO REVERSE THE TREND? EVEN WHEN THEY DID HAVE CONTROL OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS? Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Uh they had clinton veto every partial birth abortion ban that was sent up to his desk while clinton was getting lewinskied in the oval office.

Bush was in office for 5 months when jeffords jumped and handed the reins of power of the Senate to dashole.

Your intentional ignorance is showing again.

And exactly HOW MANY bills did they send up? I don't recall hearing of ONE bill that actually made it out of Congress to go and suffer a veto. Even if a bill would have received a veto, it would have put Billy Jeff on notice that he was pursuing a perilous course. But your pubbies were too busy lewinski-ing him themselves, passing budgets that outspent even Billy Jeff's requests. Running from the Contract with America that GOT THEM THE MAJORITY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Nope, I am not hiding from the truth. You are...

Jumping Jimmy would not have DARED to jump if the pubbies had held true to what got them elected in the first place. It was the thought of a return to smaller gooberment and less intrusive gooberment that got the pubbies elected, then they cut and ran from that mandate. Had they held true, Jeffors would have HAD to stay in the party to keep his seat, if for no other reason. But there being no essential differences between them, his jump could happen; I mean if he's gonna have the game, he may as well have the name. Sorry to rain on your parade, Dane, but Bush and your pubbies have screwed the country no different than the Rats...
